As the wind blows - Ministry Update

Hello there guys!

I realize that it has been some time since I last let you all know what I am up to!

The crazy summer is quickly coming to a close. It has been a great summer filled with incredible heat humidity and good times.

Our next Discipleship Training School begins in 3 1/2 weeks and so we are working on scheduling the school, organizing all that needs to happen and processing applications. There is still time to apply so if you know of someone or yourself are interested in DTS please let me know!

The summer began with a lot of recruiting for the DTS which meant a lot of travel. We traveled all over Wisconsin going to different churches and organizing events

from the Soul Garage to the terrifying "Hodag" (which you can see to your right).

I also spent a lot of time working on our new Summer Camps but unfortunately we had to cancel but we're putting the work into next year's camp!

Recently I just helped organize and event that we call "Set Apart". A two day conference that we offer for free where many youth groups and locals come to experience teaching, worship and discipleship. This was our largest Set Apart event to date, with over 150 people in attendance. I was one of the worship leaders and the sound engineer for the event.

I have also been leading worship a few times a month

at a church in our area. Last year I was the full time worship leader until I went on outreach last winter. I hope to be working in worship ministry throughout my life.

God is good and I continue to be amazed as I learn more of His character and His heart for people. The harder I try to grow a heart after God's own heart I realize how amazing He really is. When it is hard for me to love, to serve and to sacrifice I understand more of how Holy our God truly is.

My girlfriend Cheyenne Clark and I are also doing very well! We have big plans for our future together and we are excited for it! God has truly blessed me to have her in my life working with and supporting me.

Prayer Requests: That I will have a heart to learn. That I will serve God well during our upcoming school. That our students will experience something truly life changing in the coming months. And that as our Thailand outreach in January approaches, that my back (I have a herniated disk) will be strengthened and ready and that God would provide the funds to continue His work in Thailand.

I love you all,
